=== Using a binary cache on non-NixOS installations ===

To use a binary cache with a Nix that has been installed on an operating system other than NixOS (e.g. Ubuntu or macOS) {{ic|/etc/nix/nix.conf}} will need to be edited manually. This can be done by adding something similar to the following lines to {{ic|/etc/nix/nix.conf}}:

<pre>

trusted-public-keys = nix-community.cachix.org-1:mB9FSh9qf2dCimDSUo8Zy7bkq5CX+/rkCWyvRCYg3Fs= cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY=

trusted-substituters = https://nix-community.cachix.org https://cache.nixos.org

trusted-users = root @wheel

</pre>

Note that not all of that information is needed, see the manual for the respective options ([https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/conf-file.html#conf-trusted-public-keys trusted-public-keys], [https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/conf-file.html#conf-trusted-substituters trusted-substituters], [https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/conf-file.html#conf-trusted-users trusted-users]).

With the {{ic|trusted-*}} options set correctly, a user can benefit permanently from a substituter by add the following to their {{ic|~/.config/nix/nix.conf}}

<pre>

substituters = https://nix-community.cachix.org https://cache.nixos.org

</pre>

or temporarily as explained above.
